.Science of the Future.
The subject of extracting nitrogen
from the air for use iu fertiliaztiou of
arable laud is not new. But Thomas
A. Edison's approval means much, for
lie usually thinks before he speaks.
He says," Until recently, the utiliza
tion of atmospheric introgeu was re
garded as merely a laboratory demon
stration. Business men said it would
never be obtained cheaply enough to
sell to the farmer as a fertilizer. In
Norway a plant has been established
which lias been conducted with such
good results that I expect to see an
atmospheric fertilizer on the market
in this country within the next ten
years. That such a pro.tuct will soon
be imperatively necessary there is no
doubt. Every shipload of wheat aud
corn which goes abroad leaves the
United States so much poorer, not in
gold but iu nitrogeu."
Mr. Edison also thinks that electric
ity may be generated directly from
fuel before long, at a tremeudous sav
ing. With new schemes for the utiliza
tion of waste for fuel,several of which
seem practicable, the United States
may view with less alarm the alleged ,
depletion of its coal fields. As for the
extraction of nitrogen, the idea itself
is old, as are most of the scientific
speculations. Along with the harness
ing of the sea, it may come, but not \
soou. Nature's forces are only dimlv
understood,and as Mr. Edison said re
cently. for every fact Known there are j
millions undreamed of aud millions j
only faintly conceived. The earth will
support the race so long as the race ex
ists.
Sane View on College ."lorals.
Some years ago the president of au j
American university, in conferring the
doctor's dergee on a professor who was
also a great administrative officer, at
tributed the professor's power among
the undergraduates to his faith in the
predominance of good in young men. j
This is in pleasant contrast to the re
cent utterauce of the head of another
American university, which implied
that a low state of morals exists in our
institutions of learniug.and impute to
the governing officers of some of those !
institutions indifference to the ethical !
well-being of the students, young men :
are not saints. College faculties can- ;
not be police officers. It is not neces- 1
sarv that they should be. But no one !
who has attended auy American col
lege can believe that his alma mater
is au unsafe place for most Vouug men.
The variety of physical aud intellectu
al interests abundantly engages youth
ful energy and does not leave much
for dissipation. To one student who
passes the uiglit in rioting are hun.
dreds who come in healthily tired
"'"i the field, read an hour or two,
;o to bed. If a young man is not
Sin college he is not safe auy
e, eveu a block away from home,
says Youth's Companion. The tone of
college life is distinctly high compar
ed with most environments iu which
a young man might find himself. The
increasing number of poor men work
ing their way through college establ
ishes a tone of industry which the few
ruffians and idlers are uot numerous
enough to dispel. Unfortunately, when
a college man does misbehave, his ill
deed, eveu if it. be not grave enough
to give notoriety to a young man uot
in college, is printed in the newspap
ers. which contrive to give the name
of the college a conspicuous place.
Careful parents shake their heads, and
without reason conclude that the busi
ness life is more sobering thau life iu
college. This unfair view is damaging
to the whole system of higher educa
tion, the endeavor of which iu our
country is to invite youth and strength
into the educated life.
Two Cent Rate on Railroads.
Passenger rates on all railroads of
the United States will be reduced to
two cents a mile. The lowering of the
price and the complete abolition of
the old three-cent rate will begin on
.July first. This was the decision
reached in Chicago on Friday by the
leading railroad presidents of all the
western and traus-continental roads.
It was not a formal agreement but it
is especially binding, for two large
roads doing a traus-continental busi
ness are said to have served an ultim
atum to others that they would put
the rate into effect immediately. They
said that no further fight would be
made on tlie two cent laws already
passed.

Blanche E, the infant daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. George John, of Taylors
ville, whose body was brought to this
city yesterday, will be buried in Odd
Fellows' cemetery this afternoon.
The remains were taken to the home
of John Mauser, Cooper township,
grandfather of the deceased child. The
funeral will take place at 2 o'clock
tins afternoon from St. .Tames Luther
an church at Kidgeville. liev. George
W. Eritsch. the pastor, will officiate.
4 75 Per of Children Work.
•"fate factory Inspector 'Dolauey in
his annual report for 1906, transmit
ted to Governor Stuart this week,says
i Kit Pennsylvania can show a less per
centage of employed children under it!
than any state iu tlio uuiou. There
wre in 1906 just 40,371, a percentage
of 4 75 less than any year since 18S9.
The inspector remarks that this is a
small number out of 1,500.0(H) chil
dren, of whom 245,11? are enrolled in
public schools, j
BREEDING OF
GOLD FISH
Drnjgist O. M. Leniger lias just
completed a verv interesting and suc
cessful experiment in breeding gold
fish. At the outlet it should be ex
plained that the breeding of these rare
and delicate fish is carried ou only ou
a very limited scale in this country
and has never been accomplished, so
far as known, except in especially con
structed ponds, out of doors. It re
mained for Mr. Leniger to bring about
the result in an aquarium in his drug
store.
In his culture of gold fish the drug
gist first tried the experiment in a
large tank in his back yard. Several
healthy specimens were kept there for j
four years. All indications pointed to
failure, when he removed the fish into I
the store, placing them in the front ;
window, where with a large number
of others they formed an attractive
display.
Much to Mr. Leniger's surprise a
short time afterward he noticed that
two of the fish were spawning, which
is a most interesting process and is <
very little understood even by the !
most ardent fanciers of gold fish. I
The eggs were yellow,about the size I
of a pin head and being quite adhe- j
sive, they clung to the blades of the j
grass-like plants, growing in the j
aquarium. In from two to seven days j
they hatched out and at first presented j
a very odd appearance, seeming all
head and eyes and had attached to them
a proportionately large ball, which
was the yolk-sac containing a nutri- j
tive substence from which the young j
fishes were nourished. At present the !
young fry, apparently thousand- in
number, have attained the size of
small ants. They are daily iewed by
many persous interested in nature
study.
An Attractive Home Wedding.
Miss Mabel Askins and Edward Aten
of this city were united in marriage
last evening. The ceiemony took place
at the residence of the bride's par
ents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Askins. ;
No. 158 East Market street,at 8 o'clock, |
the Rev. L. Dow Ott, pastor of Trin
ity M. E. church, officiating.
The parlor was very prettily dec I
orated with flowers, ferns, &c. May
Patton, Agnes, Genevieve, and Gracr ;
Wolf, nieces of the groom, were flow- !
er girls. Beyond these the bride and |
groom were unattended. The cere- j
ruony was peiformed under a bell
formed of mock orange blossoms.
The bride wore a gown of Paris
muslin and carried a large bouquet of
bridal roses.
After the ceremony a wedding din- j
ner was served, sixty guests surround
ing the tables. Among those present
from out of town were : Mr. and Mrs. I
Joseph Strieker. Miss Alice Strieker,
of Catawissa ; Mrs. David Herbein, jof ,
Bloomsburg; Mr. and Mrs. Charles I
Diehl of Ridgeville; Adam Wagner of I
Milton.
The bride was the recipient of many
beautiful presents comprising linen,
silverware, china, &c.
The groom is the son of C. S. Aten,
Church street, and is well and favor- |
ably known. The bride is also i
popular and highly esteemed young
lady.
Home-Grown Strawberries.
The curbstone market with its in
viting supply of strawberries, green
peas,and other vegetables is beginning
to take ou a seasonable appearance.
Strawberries Tuesday morning
seemed to be the ruling commodity.
Those shipped from points south, which
met the demand up to a week or ten
days ago, have dropped out and have
given the market over to the home
grown product.
Up to a few weeks ago strawberry
growers predicted a nearly total fail
ure of the crop. As shown by the
sequel, however, they were altogether
too pessimistic. Strawberries, at least
as far as quantity goes, will probably
be an average crop. The yield, owing
to the late spring, may be a little de
ficient in luscious qualities, but ou
the whole the berries seem well de
veloped. Strawberries yesterday sold
at the rate of two boxes for a quarter.
An inferior grade could be purchased
at ten centg per box.
Prout-Pursel.
Miss Agnes R. Pursel, daughter of
Hugh Pursel, Bloom street, and Arth
ur S. Prout,son of Mr and Mrs. Thos.
E. Prout,Grand street, were united in
marriage yesterday forenoon. The cer
emony took place in the newly fur
nished home of thr young couple, cor
ner of Pine and Mahoning street, at
11 o'clock, Rev. M. K. foster of St.
Paul's M. E. church officiating.
The beautiful ring c.ermony was em
ployed. The room was tastefully dec
orated witli ferns and flowers.
Miss Lois Williams, niece of the
bride, was bridesmaid, while the
groom was attended by his brother,
Josiah Prout.
The happy pair left on the 12:10
Pennsylvania train for a trip to Phila
delphia and Atlantic City.
Charles P. Kill, United States com
missioner of labor, lias been looking
about New York with intent to post
himself concerning the merits and
scope of the threatened strike of tel
egraphers.
Many American parents will sym
pathize with the fears of the good wo
man who was willing that her boy
should go in swimming if he should
promise to stay away from the water.
PRISONER TORE
OP MJNTERIOR
MILTON, June 2fi.
A frenzied prisoner, who gave the
name of Charles Henrv,demolished the
interior of the lock-up last niglit. He
fouud iu it a long iron weight, and
tearing out the radiator, orawled
down into the cellar and secured a
pink. He then came up and proceed
ed to smash windows and tear out the
partition, destroying the interior in a
few minutes.
No one could pluck up courage to
venture in and handcuff the prisoner
in his drunken frenzy. The officers
threatened through a window grating.
After smashing the woodwork and
windows, the fellow demolished locks
and bolts on the double iron doors and
inserted a bolt in a manner to lock
himeslf in.
He then waited for a crowd, which
had gathered, to disperse, and make
good his- escape. Eefore he could get
away, however, Constable Levi Pflug
or went iu and handcuffed him,and he
was taken to Sunbury at midnight.
Henry w.i- arrested for savagely fight
ing on the river bridge in the after
noon.

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE,
Penn'a State Educational Association.
Great Activity in Hatcheries.
There will be great activity in the
State fish hatcheries this summer,there
having been a specific appropriation
for extensive repairs. Commissioner
Meehan has been apportioning the ,
money BO aw to give each a share, I
which will result in patting each sta- ,
tiou in the best possible shape. He ex- !
pects to have most of the work com
pleted before winter sets in so that
everything will be iu readiness for op
eration next spring. This year the out j
put of fish was over 652,000,000. With j
the completion of the new buildings
and ponds the output in the near fu
ture will be more than 1,000,000,000 a
year. This summer also a contract will
be placed for the building of a large
tug for Lake Erie. This vessel will
materially assist in increasing the out
put of fish by the State. It is designed
to use it partly for the purpose of
spawn gathering nu Lake Erie, and
for patroling purposes to suppress il
legal fishing ou Lake Erie within the
jurisdiction of Pennsylvania. When
the work planned by Commissioner
Meehan is completed, the hatcheries
will be better equipped for immense
outputs of fish than any of the other
State hatcheries and will only be ex
ceeded by those of the United States
government. Commissioner Meehan
starts on his tour of the hatcheries on
the fir.-t of July and lie expects that it
will occupy his time for fully three
weeks.
No Riding on Engines.
Orders were issued yesterday calling
the attention of trainmen of the Penn
sylvania Railroad to the general

issued on this date reads as follows:
" The practice of trainmen permit
ting persons to ride on the engines,
cabins or trains must be Btopped. No
person, whether employed or not will

Safe Was Locked Twelve Years.
Captain J. E. Harder, the Clear
field safelock expert, had business in
Bloomsliurg Tuesday. The safe-opener
was called there to open a 6000 pound
fire and burglar-proof safe in the
building occupied by Townselid's
Mercantile firm. The safe Imd been
locked for twelve years, ever since its
owner had disappeared from that
town. Receiving word from the fact
ory where the safe was made that their
experts could not gain an entrance ex
cept by blowing it, and not desiring
the destruction of the safe the present
owners summoned expert Harder, who
opened it after some manipulation and
hard work.
FRANK LEE MILES
IN NOVA SCOTIA
The following clipping from the
Yarmouth, (Nova Scotia) "Daily
Globe" affords a pleasing mental
glimpse of our townsman, Frank Lee
Miles, who is now holding forth in
the far North East:
1 'The meeting held last Tuesday even
ing in I. O. O. F. hall, at which Bro.
Frank Lee Mlies, P. G. of Peuna. was
the principal speaker, was well at
tended by the Rebekah Odd Fellows
and their friends.
Bro. Miles' address was listened
to with closest attention as he portray
ed in an excellent manner the history
and objects of this branch of the Or
der, setting forth its advantages in a
masterly way which convinced many !
of his listeners that they also should
"go anil do likewise."
It is certain that Bro Miles' visit,
will be productive of good to the Or- [
tier in Yarmouth.
The members of Diamond Lodge
will have an opportunity of hearing
this gifted speaker at regular meeting
on Thursday evening,and no Odd Fel
low should miss attending that meet
iug."
Columbia Park in Gala Attire.
Columbia park, at Lime Ridge, just I
nbove Bloomsburg, is now running '
full blast and there are but few parks
Df its size in Central Pennsylvania
that are so well equipped to accom- |
modate a large crowd as is this place.
>T. \V. Peifer, the manager, has had
srected two new cottages and these
together with the other buildings will
shelter a crowd of 4000 in case of
rain.
Fine flower beds have been laid out
»nd present a very beautiful appear
ance. Scattered around through the
.{rove are benches and tables which
»re used for basket picnics, while a
new diuiug room large enough to ac
commodate 100 persons, has recently
heeu erected for picnickers who wish
linners prepared on the grouuds.
Almost every day there are seveial
private parties on the grounds, and
Mr. Peifer already has a large unmber
3t picnics booked for the present sea- |
son. the parties coming from Danville,
Bloomsburg. and Berwick.
Last snmmer there were picnics at |
the park every day, many of the Sun- j
flay schools from this section having J
their annual outings at Columbia ;
park, aud the booking this year' in- !
eludes almost all of the institutions
that picnicked at the park last sum
mer, which alone speaks well for Col- j
umbia park.
Mr. Bittenbender, the assistant, is
n hustler, audit is largely due to his i
efforts that the amusements are so
popular.

Silk worms at Work.
| A colony of Chinese silk worms was ■
put to work in the window of the !
Globe Warehouse Tuesday morning !
and for the next ten days the store
will afford an interesting study of one
of nature's most wondrous processes.
Already Tues lay the window was tin
object of much interest and there was
scarcely an hour but the space around
it outside was filled with persons cur
ious to see the wonderful little toilers
in the very comm. ucement of their
short anil active 1 '
As indicated ah e the silk worms '<
are the genuine Chinese product, im
ported direct fr nn China, and were j
procured through the influence of
Minister Conger. Most person.-, uu •
doubt think they have a correct idea j
of the process by which silk is produc- |
ed, but a daily glauce at the little
spinners during the next week or more
will probably convince them that they ;
had very much to learn on the sub
ject. In no branch of entomology is <
there a subject of more facinating in
terest.
The first phase of the strange object !
lesson is the feeding of the silk worms.
A quantity of mulberry leaves along
with the worms was placed in the i
window Tuesday morning. The
worms, many of which are over two i
inches in length, are very voracious '
and a mulberry leaf wheu once at
tacked soon disappeared.
After commencing work the silk
worms do not stop until their task is !
finished. The second act of the little ;
drama is the spinning process. Hav
ing feasted upon the mulberry leaves 1
the worms, or at least a good many j
of them, will persist ingoing to the j
top of the window to spin. The win- I
dow on the inside is draped with l
mosquito netting. In the folds of the '
netting the worms will spin and as ar
ranged a very good view of the pro- I
cess should be obtained from outside
the window.
Miss Hazel Harman a June Bride.
The wedding of Miss Hazel Harman

day evening at 8 o'clock at the home of
the bride's parents at Harrisburg. The
ceremony was very quiet, the only \
guests being immediate relatives of j
the contracting parties. The ceremony !
was performed by the bride's father.
The bride is the daughter of Rev. !
and Mrs. Harry Curt in Harnian, and
is well known and most popular in j
Danville,where her father was recent- !
ly located as pastor of St. Paul's M. j
E. church. Miss Harman is the pos- j
sessor of a fine voice and is a highly '
cultured young lady. The groom is a
musician of extraordinary ability and i
is also well known and liked in this

Oil in hard Coal Field.
1 The search for oil in the hard coal
region is on again and it is expected
that this time the long-mooted ques
tion as to whether petroleum exists in
the vicinity of anthracite deposits will
be definitely settled. Expert drillers
are putting down a number of wells
in West Penn township, Carbon coun
ty, and one of the holes has already
been sunk to a depth of over 2,000
feet.
That our American rorests abound m
plants which possess the most valuable
medicinal virtues ts abundantly attested
